LIMITING IMMIGRATION.

The sentiment is almost universal against per-
mittiug the criminal and pauper classes from
the old world to be landed on our shores. This
hss already been permitted to such an e1 tent
that they have become a disturbing and
dangerous element in the body polite. Thought
full people have long foreseen that this would be
the case, but with the majority of the people
the idea given forth in the early days of the re-
public, that TO our shores the wronged and op-
pressed of all lands should come to find free
dom and happiness, has prevailed to such an
extent that our doors have been kept wide
open.-CHicd0o Inter Ocean.
That is not an accurate statement of the
doctrine" The ''idea" was-diligently
and aggressively preached-that . the for
eign born had the right to come here; that
it was an inalienable right, and without
violating the substructural principles of
government, we could not deny him that
right. The later and better doctrine is
precisely the reverse; that is, no foreign
born have a right to come among us; the
privilege they do have, but that is a grant
that may be withdrawn at will. When
California first agitated the question of
Chinese exclusion she was plainly told by
New England that she had no fright to
propose such thing that this land was
'house Of refuge for all oppressed or dis
satisfied, and all others who saw fit to enter
it, whether we wanted them or not 1t will
not require violent exercise of memory to
recall the days when the 'idea" of pre-
venting the landing of the hordes of China
upon our shores was held up to view at
the East as conclusive evidence of our de-
pravity and disloyalty to the American
idea.
The inevitable is overwhelming these
advocates of the fright" Their protests
are very feeble now, and will presently be
no more heard in the land. 1t has been
given by the voice of the American people
that immigration to the United States of
right ought to be and shall be limited and
controlled, and where we may will it, be
stopped. As the Inter Ocean says: "Most
thoughtful men and women are coming to
the conclusion that the elevation of our
own laboring people is a task worthy of
their highest efforts, and one that will tax
their denial and perseverance. The action
of foreign-born Socialists and Anarchists
and the discussion of the Chinese question
have done much to bring to the front the
question of the limitation of immigration.
1t is not new question, however, nor does
it have anything of the element of Know
nothingism in it. In this matter of i'm
migration there is scope for the exercise of
wise craftsmanship"

draw from the position, that manual train
ing cannot be so well introduced into pub
lie schools along with other studies, as it
can be made the object and purpose of dis
tinct schools, to supplement the common
school system. The children in the public
schools are not trained intellectually a
particle too much-indeed not nearly
enough. The rudiments of the simplest
English education only can be acquired in
the common schools. To rob the time
given to these of sufficient hours in
which to train boys and girls in the
use of tools without any practical
results in view, will be dangerous to the
intellectual training. Brain and Drawn go
together to-day in life's struggle The
Drawn backed by the most information and
the best trained brain, will produce the
best physical as well as intellectual re-
suits. Let the children go on uninter-
rupted through the grammar grades. Then
pass them at IA and 10 into special manual
training schools, and at 10 and 20 we will
have young men and women to 90 out
upon the world fitted for labor, and with
useful vocations settled upon, or close in
view, and possessed of the ability to sue
coed in them after reasonable practical
experience. For the manual training
school does not purpose to turn out highly
skilled workers; only trade schools and
apprenticeship do that. But the manual
training school does prepare the boy and
girl for quick training at trades familiar

EN- INTERESTING QUESTION.

The San Francisco Bulletin, in compar-
ing the customs of fifty years ago and to-
day, calls attention to the fact that then
the decanter occupied prominent place
in every household; it was fairly an in
suit then to refuse toddy on visiting a
friend. Then ladies retired from the
table as the bottle came on, and the male
guests were expected to drink themselves
stupid and be carried out by the servants.
In factories and work yards the employer
was compelled by custom to furnish sgrog'
to the men, and there was special hour
when the bell rang and men ceased work
to get their free grog" All these Gus
toms have been abandoned. But the
saloon has come on and taken their place
and multiplied the tavern bar a hundred
fold. Yet the fact is that less alcoholic
drink is consumed per head to-day than
Fifty years ago by quite so per cent.
Whether drunkenness has increased or de-
ciined, however, is as yet an unsolyed

AWAKENING AT LAST.

1t is gratifying to find that the State
Forestry Commission is acting an earnest
and aggressive spirit. At its recent meeting
it manifested a disposition that promises
| definite and highly beneficial results for the
State. 1t has officially expressed its fears
that so great damage has been done to our
forest growth that it can only be repaired
ut heavy cost and after many years of en-
deavor. 1t calls for the absolute with
drawal of certain timber lands from sale
and entry, and for such general regulation
and supervision of numbering as to con-
serve forest growth. and for general activ-
ity to prevent forest destruction and to
promote tree-planting. lIr. Thomas Ma
gee has contributed to the literature of the
subject by very valuable paper read be-
fore the Commission, upon forest preserva-
ton; the accomplished naturalist and ge-
ologist, Johu Muir is to also read a paper
on the same subject. 1t is noteworthy that
thirteen years ago the REcoRD-UNIoN
"SAN"NSN NhS iuCoLiouf anu Was
then quite alone in its endeavor.
1t warned the people of the GER
tain result of the recklessnes with
which our forest growth was being killed
off by those vandals, the AK and the torch.
and their lieutenants, the stockmen and
sheepherders. Ever since this Jour
nal has been persistent in urging the sub
ject upon the attention of the people. For
some years not much of hearing could
be had; the appeals and citations of ex-
perience of European States we're met
with smile of incredulity. "Surely
nothing of that kind could ever happen
to California" Nevertheless, four years
ago the dangerous results of neglect and
vandalism became too manifest to be
longer ignored, and a Legislature took a
feeble step in the right direction, limiting
the activity TO the region about Lake
Tahoe. Since then broader views have
been taken, and it is now likely that
something will be done, though it is very
nearly the eleventh hour, to stay the
denudation Of our wooded slopes and
mountain timber belts, and to encourage
arboriculture in valley and foothill.

T0L0.

The ninth illustrated paper of the series
prepared by the REcoRD-UNIoN expository
of the counties, cities and towns of Cen
trail and Northern California, appears this
morning. 1t is devoted to treatment of
the resources OF Yolo county. That sec
ton is one of the richest, most favored and
prosperous in the State 1t is grain
growing, grape-cultivating, horticultural,
stock-raising and raisin-drying county.
Very large capital is invested there in
these industries, and it is all paying largely.
The soil and climate are of the best. The
county has especially fine transportation
facilities for its products, and is near the
great coast markets. Its educational iusti-
buttons are of an excellent order, and are
literally supported and enjoy al enviable
reputation. 1t is thrifty, well-settled
county, with population Industrious pro-
gressive, and in the main remarkably
well off, in the possession of worldly
goods The REcoRD-UNIoS's paper on
Yolo will be found to be exhaustive and
to contain a great amount Of useful in
formation.
The RECoRD-UNIoN takes especial pride
in these papers, many more of which are
to follow. The reception they are having
abroad is in the highest degree encourag-
ing, and demonstrates beyond question the
wisdom and effectiveness of this mode of
advertising the resources, advantages and
special claims of Central and Northern
California. Especial pains are taken to be
accurate and impartial in the treatment of
these subjects, and this painstaking is
everywhere recognized

MEXICAN TRADE.

The great difficulty of building up mu h trade
with our southern neghbors is the fact that
most of the foreign merchants there are Ger.
mans who trade mainly with German houses.
And, moreover, the Americans are not looked
on with favor by the Mexican people. -Odk,aad
Tribune
And it is our own fault. The truth is
that we have neglected our opportunities.
The evidences all establish the fact that
the Germans and English became popular
in Mexico because they adapted them
selves to the conditions of the place They
manufactured for the market, and as the
market demanded; they sold what was
wanted, and did not attempt to force their
ideas or their tastes upon the people. They
made well and packed well, and did not
attempt to palm off inferior goods. Our
Mexican Consular reports all show that
the American trade with Mexico has been
prevented from growing because our man.
ufacturers, with some exceptions, have ig-
nored the demands of the Mexican people
have insisted upon doing their thinking
for them, and have attempted to inject
American ideas of trade and manufacture
into the Mexican system. We have packed
carelessly, shipped carelessly and delivered
with too little regard for the arrival +"
condition Of the article. There is no nat
ural reason why American trade should not
crowd English and German commerce to
the wall in Mexico.

in 200 years the decrease of pauperism in
England and Wales has been over 43 per
cent, we have the strongest OF reasons for
believing that in America it has decreased
in a larger percentage. For the condition
OF the working classes here has far more
rapidly improved their wage-earning has
been larger and suffered fewer checks
while, as Ohren points out, charity organ
izations in our great cities have demon
strated that of applicants for relief-in
New York, for instance-only seven per
cent. were found deserving of continuous
relief, "a per cent. only needed temporary
assistance, and "a per cent. needed work
rather than relief, while - per cent. were
unworthy any aid whatever.

AN UNHoLY CONSPIRACY.

What a farce! Here is the Mormon
Church preaching plural marriage as a
| command from heaven-a revelation from
God to His chosen people, through Joe.
Smith. 1t is the only way given whereby
the souls of those poor wretches of women
can be saved. 1t is damnation to the end
OF time for a Mormon wife to refuse to
kneel at the oval altar in the Endowment
House, and place the hand of young and
rosy second wife in the palm of her hus-
band, and smile upon their exchange Of
embraces. Yet this church, its willy priest
hood and its shrewd laymen, get together
in Constitutional Convention, and as bait
for Gentle votes in Congress on the ques-
ton of admitting Utah to the Union of
States enact that in the new State-to be
-polygamy shall be, what? felony? a
henious ofense? an outrageous assault
upon decency and worthy of all condem-
nation? Oh, no. 1t is to be a misde-
meanor, and misdemeanors are of the kind
of offenses that society deals leniently
with. What is to be the penalty? A fine
of not over $1,000 and six months i'm
priSonment as minimum. Not high
price for new young wife, or a score of
them, to lecherous Mormons. Now, if in
pronouncing polygamy God commanded
holy and worthy to be promoted,
the Mormons are sincere, what becomes of
their religious heroism when they enter a
Constitutional Convention and vote to
make the holy ordinance" crime? The
truth is, the cunning Democrat is behind
the whole business, and he and the Nor
mon have driven bargain the one agrees
to make Utah State, the other agrees
that once State the constitutional clause
against polygamy shall grow heavy with
cobwebs, and be and remain unenforced.

PROFIT IN PRUNEs.-There is a large
profit in the growing of French prunes.
Storey Bros, from little patch of less
than two acres of prune trees, on their
place in town, gathered last year sufficient
prunes to make, when dried, three tons,
or six thousand pounds. These sold at
seven cents, making $420, or about $3.50
gross per acre. The expense attending
their cultivation and curing is light, not
exceeding $50 per acre. And the trees re-
ferred to are not yet in full bearing. The
wise farmer should try to have greater
diversity of products in the future and
not rely on one particular thing, which is
liable to become overdone.-S. Helena

PLANTING UPRooTED RUNNERs.-An
Ohio strawberry grower does not wait for
runners to. take root. When they are
about ready to root he clips them off,
drops them in dish of water, and then
plants them out. He claims that they
eventually become better plants than those
which have rooted before the planting out
In our experience the plants with large
roots start sooner, and keep the lead OF
those with very small roots, but those hay-
ing no roots at all we have not had expe-
rience with-for which reason the said
Ohio strawberry grower has the advantage
of us. New ways do not always prove the
best ways, and in this matter, PERHAPS the
old way of leaving the new plants in the
original bed until rooted, thereby per.
